Mysterious Ailments-Bright's Disease.
A Foreign Invention.
"a mysterious dispensation of Providence,
truly" remarked a lady, returning from the
funeral of a third victim to diphtheria, in one
and the same house. "Humph," replied her
companion, providence indeed! MIR. Blanks
cellar is full Of rotting potatoesl"
When epidemics of diphtheria and the like
break out in cities, they are usually attributed
to faulty sewerage, bad conditions Of tene-
ments, etc. When occurring in the country
the supposed abode of pure air and pure
water-their origin is to great many minds
mysterious" "Mr Blanks potatoes, how
ever, would account for a good many cases.
In addition to this cause might be mentioned
the contamination Of the water supply by q
bad relation of the well to the cess pool and
other excavations; or even its contamination
from surface drainage. Toward the end Of
the winter we are accustomed to hear of the
ravages of diphtheria in isolated households,
in country neighborhoods and in villages 1t
is then that the filth that has been frozen up
all winter is put into solution and carried by
heavy rains into the well or the neighboring
stream from which water for household use Is
drawn-the pure, impid brook Of the poets.
From such well or brook people fill their
systems with the germs of disease. Ignorance
or disregard of sanitary precautions is too
often the mysterious something" that brings
sudden sickness and death to households
with the coming of spring. gentle spring.

Jay Gould's Son George.

According to common reports, George
Gould has settled down into most ex-
emplary husband since his marriage with
Edith Kingdom. He has become SO en-
crossed in his business that his old COM
panions at the New York club are inclined
to complain little at his neglect of them.
One of them said yesterday: cit is not
often that a rich mans son settles down
with the ambition to become richer than
his father, but that is just what George
Gould seems to have done. 1t is not so
long since we used to see him every night
or two at the club with jolly lot of
fellows around him. Now we never see
him, but the fellows say that he has
grown tremendously ambitious for vast
wealth. He will be very rich man with
out waiting for his fathers demise. ~

First AdHancaS

A lady who is fully assured of her own re-
spectahility, who has always lived in the best
society, is never afraid to bow first or to call
first or to introduce people whom she may
desire to know each other. She perhaps pre-
sumes on her position, but if she possesses tact,
rarely offends by so doing. No one of heart
or mind, says a social authority, need feel
afraid to talk and be agreeable to guests at a
friends house, whether introduced or not;
even if she meets with rebuff, she is in the
right. In Europe the roof tree is sufficient
introduction, and il SO considered by many
leaders of fashionable society in this country.

Fashions In Necklaces.

There is a large demand for silver neck
laces of slender construction, to be worn over
velvet bands A circlet Of forget me nots in
blue enamel, or tiny daisies in white enamel,
are very effective when mounted on dark
velvet neck ribbons. The fashion continues
for both gold and silver bead necklaces, and
then there are silver necklaces and dog collars
in quite elaborate patterns, and closely fitting
about the throat. A necklace in favor with
very young ladies consists of a eimplo gold
chain at the back and sides, while the front
is composed of gold tassel like pendants set
with turquoise or small pearls.

Bright's Disease.

In an article referring to Brights disease,
Semmola, of Naples, emphasizes the remark
able sensibility of the skin of sufferers from
this trouble to variations of temperature.
Such patients are exceedingly sensitive to
cold, and he would not allow them to come in
contact with it in any preventable way. Vio-
lent massage and muscular exercise he disap-
proves Of, as well as of cold baths. Each
produces too great shock and depression. The
hygienic treatment advised is to live in dry
and equable climate. to entirely avoid e1-
posure or going out in severely cold weather,
and, rather than venture out for exercise into
a temperature below IS or 20 degs., c., to prac-
tice mild indoor gymnastics.

Fish Ponds in SaxOnH.

A traveller in SaXony relates his sur
prise at the large number of ponds of all
sizes which stud the fields in every direc-
ton. These ponds are as carefully tended
as are the fields and are a source of in
come to their owners. They TEEN with
carp, tench and other fish that will thrive
in sluggish water. These are taken out
in the fall and sold at prices ranging from
twelve to twenty cents per pound. The
ponds are then restocked with young
brood, which costs from fifty cents to
SI25 per 100, according to size. These
fish are left to shift for themselves until
they are year old, when they are usually
fit for market. In winter the ponds yield
a crop of ice, which is disposed of at fair
price. Chicago Times.

Wedding invitations require no answer.
People who live at distance and cannot at
tend send their cards to assure their hosts
that the invitation reached its destination.
If, however, an answer is requested, as is
often the case where it is home wedding,
carelessness in sending one would be inexcus-
able. Where an invitation to house we'd
ding has been received a call is imperative
very soon after the wedding. Evening we'd
dings do not differ essentially from day we'd

Alleged Cure for Pulmonary Trouble.

AHegeu Cure TOT FuImohHry IfOubIes
An apparatus to enable person to breathe
the outside air while sitting indoors in a
warm room is credited to foreign invention.
It consists of a simple tube communicating
through the window with the external air.
At one end of it an attachment to fit over the
mouth and nose is placed. The inventor
claims that tubercle bacilli are destroyed by
low temperature, and therefore pulmonary
phthisis may he cured by breathing freely

How to Shake Hands.

There is right and q wrong way to shake
hands. 1t is horrible when ones unoffending
digits are seized as if in a wise and wrung and
squeezed until one feels as if they were re-
duced to q jelly. It isnot less horrible to find
them lying in a nerveless, limp clasp that
makes no response to your hearty greeting.
Shake hands as if you meant it-swiftly,
strepuously, courteously, neither using undue
pressure nor falling wholly supine.

The Gulnare Dynamite Scare.

NEW YORK, April l4.-New Orleans
special says: Referring to report that
the steamship Gulnare was on Irish
coast with cargo OF dynamite. ut
may be proper to state that the original
and only Gulnare is now in
the fruit trade between this
port and Bay Islands. She
sailed from this port April lst,
for Ruthan under charter to the leading
shipping house of Woodward & Wright.
She sailed in ballast and the only freight
she carried was specie with which to
purchase cargo of bananas. She will be
due on her return trip this week. Some
months ago the British consul here caus-
ed the Gulnare to be detained some days
for errors In her papers. The defect was
mended and she went about her bust
ness. The vessel was owned by prom
inent Irish nationalist Of this city and
some excitement was caused at the
time she was fitted out as Fenian pri-
waiter, and this may have given rise to
the scare on the other side.

And laid his mugwump hand
On furnishing father, mother, child,
The stricken of our land.
With fifty thousand dollars a year,
And house and gardens free,
And over them all majority here
What cause for fear had he ?
For what could such starving set
With all their murmuring do
To make his excellency fret
If stood his party true?
And so he sits him down in state,
And with a blushing brow
He leaves the farmer to his fate,
No seed can he allow,
And congress wise must all give way.
He will not bulge an inch
This accident OF yesterday
This president by pinch.
But time makes all things even and
square,
And all dogs have their days,
And one election, full and fair,
Will better fill his place.
